Technical Specifications

While precise specifications require the official datasheet, KDV175RTK/P is expected to have a reverse standoff voltage around 17V and a clamping voltage dependent on the surge current. It's typically housed in a small surface-mount package like SOD-323 or similar. This allows for easy assembly and minimal board space usage. The surge capability is defined by its ability to withstand high current pulses without degradation or failure. The /P suffix generally designates a specific packaging type, such as tape and reel, suitable for automated assembly processes. The operating temperature range is typically between -40°C and +125°C. The KDV175RTK/P helps devices meet industry standard surge immunity requirements such as IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) and IEC 61000-4-5 (Surge). The low clamping voltage ensures that the protected circuitry is exposed to minimal stress during an overvoltage event. Reverse leakage current is minimized to ensure minimal power consumption. The diode is fabricated using silicon technology offering reliability and robustness.
